Dear Andrea, thanks for sharing the abstract. I think the problem is not with “awareness” itself, but with what the child does with the information (if he/she uses the information to learn something or to negative evaluate him/herself). If the child shows signs of helpless response (sadness, anxiety, quitting speaking situations), he/she is probably learning that things cannot be changed (so stuttering cannot be improved too). Regards, Sandra
